While all the other bloggers are busy talking about staying at high end properties that are mostly unattainable by the masses, I am busy looking for great family experiences to help our boys grow. That is why I love this deal. KOA campgrounds must be experiencing some tough times too, because they are offering a great deal on buy one, get one stays in the month of August.

This is an economical way to stay while traveling if you do not mind sleeping in tents, cabins, or motorhomes. I do not know about you, but my parents took us camping quite a bit growing up, and looking back, some of my favorite memories were in that motorhome.

One can go to this page on the KOA website, and select the state you plan to travel. They then list all the available campgrounds, and one can proceed with their reservation.

I decided to run a quick scenario to see what it worked out too. Total for 2 nights in a cabin ran approximately $68 with this promotion after taxes. Yes it is not a 5 star resort, but it is not a tent either, and a steal for less than $40/night. One can help nourish great memories with your family by spending a day out in the woods and at the lake. I will take the savings from those high end properties and go and buy a bag of marshmallows for roasting with the kids.
